Summary: Enables neuropeptide hormone activity and oxytocin receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of secretion by cell; positive regulation of smooth muscle contraction; and regulation of blood pressure. Located in extracellular space; secretory granule; and terminal bouton. Is active in neuronal dense core vesicle. Used to study gastric ulcer and hypertension. Biomarker of hypertension. Orthologous to human OXT (oxytocin/neurophysin I prepropeptide). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
